Hi everybody,
I would like to upgrade my T-Mobile Tab and I'm a newbie in everything related to flashing mobile devices. I've read most of the threads here, please help me with making an order in a mess
Currently I have the following firmware: UVJJB (Baseband: T849UVJJB). My questions are:
1. In order to flash JMC/D, should i first to flash JM6?
2. Can/Should I use Roto-JM* firmwares? Are they better for me than others over those threads?
3. I noticed those firmwares have 2 potential problems:
a. I can loose my 3G data (i'm using the Tab not in US)
b. Display buttons can stay on for some reason
Will the 2 above happen to me?
4. The final question Can somebody please describe the flashing sequence (including the options in Odin) which fits my specific case?
Many Thanks!
Michael.
please read other posts. They have all the answers with great learning experience.

First I link you to xda rules ok.
http://lmgtfy.com/?q=xda+rules
I have searched. and I explained what I've found. I also asked a specific question about rooting my phone, the specific phone I have (MDM i9505). I haven't found any solutions so far. I have been checking the forums on a daily basis more than once in recent days. you two above this post could not be less helpful. You tell me to search, when I have. If there is a root for my phone, why didn't you point me in the right direction? or is it easier to make fun of people when you don't have an answer? thanks for nothing.
Im on MDM and rooted.

ok, thanks m.nassy.uk
@muhamet, I have a question, those are rooted roms, not just rooted kernel. I have seen those. Will that mean I will loose all my apps etc? thanks both.
edit: one more question. do I have to root to install custom roms in the future? The only reason I am looking to root is to be able to install roms when I decide which one I want to run. Or do roms come with rooted kernels and all I have to do is flash them via recovery? thanks.

Actually - the guy has a very legit question so before you flame him !
I have been in these forums for years and i can honestly say this S4 thread is one of the most mixed up in here !
These rooting questions NEED TO BE MUCH CLEARER, Especially for lots of new people coming in.
Dedicated Thread only for Root I9505 And which root method works - you look around and its in original dev and Android Dev.
Same for I9500 !
Then there is stock / hybrid / custom roms, Pre rooted so no wonder these questions get asked !
Root should only be in one Forum thread for each device and not mixed !
Now im fortunate enough to know what im doing ! but there is going to be so many repeat questions asked in here that its asking for trouble and bricked devices.
It really does need cleaning up.
thx

@m.nassy.uk thanks mate, that worked, I am now indeed rooted and have recovery, ready for the roms! And I do apologize for asking what might sound like a very basic question to some of you. I hope this thread will help others, some less experienced android users. The s4 is only my 2nd ever android phone (s2 was the first) and I'm not as knowledgeable as some of you on here. Thanks again.
No problem

Completely agree as a s2 root newbie I've started to learn the ropes a bit more running custom roms on the s3 for the past year or so. The issue of two different phone models in the same area is bound to cause confusion. I have to check twice, I've loaded up the i9500 development section before not paying attention thinking it was i9505 lol.

thing is, I used ODIN to root my s2 and put recovery on it some 2 years ago, after that it was a case of downloading .zip files (roms) and flashing them via recovery so I have forgotten quite a few things about rooting etc since 2011. but hey, I'm ready now... waiting for a nice rom to come.
I jumped in and got a contract straight away on the s4 from the s3. I don't mind. I got a good deal. But in hindsight I'm going to wait a good few months for any others devices. I'll see this out on its 24 month contract by then god knows what will be out there. Hopefully some custom kernels with voltage control will be released too. Finding crackling through headphones atm.

Ok, so after rooting, recovery doesn't load anymore. Phone just boots normally. Any ideas?
I have tried to find this all over the xda forums and I'm sorry if I have over looked it somewhere but here goes...
I'm working on trying to root my new Galaxy S4 SGM-M919 from T-Mobile. I have managed to use Odin and flashed the stock firmware so I can confirm Odin works with my make/model but I have not found a tutorial on the xda forums that tells n00bs what to do.
Currently I have been using the following threads to try to get it rooted...
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2189539
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671969
On the ladder one I got my stock firmware to flash so that's a step in the right direction, but I can't seem to find any type of "insecure kernel" used in the "quick root" section.
Could someone point me in the right direction please?

Hey Malybru,
Know any Roms for the M919 that will let me keep Wifi Calling? Tried the 4.3 Google Play Rom but it doesn't have it. Back on stock with root until I find a solution.

Hey man, first download odin 1.85, go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2294005 is located in this same site. Follow instruction but basically create a backup of all you applications and phone contacts!!! after that power off phone then when its off hold down volume down button and home button then while holding those button press the power button and when it vibrates let go of power while still holding volume down and home (you will get to the download screen. When you see the screen start odin using administration rights then press the volume up on phone. Under the PDA look for the suto jfl file and start it up and it will root for you. Once the phone starts open the store and update SuperSu (I suggest buying the professional to show support) after update open it and let it update the binary files. Your are now rooted my friend, I suggest get titanium backup, adaway, F-Droid (google it F-Droid apk download) install that and look for AdAway, get ROM Manager to flash and backup your current rom, also get triangle away to reset the flash but can only be used on stock rom and being rooted. If this helps please give that thumbs up. Good luck

I use Infamous ROMs, they are the best in my opinion, lets you fully customize the phones look and keeps the stock applications but without the bloat stuff and very reliable and fast oh and it comes with a few other apps for over clocking. Buy their 3Minit Settings from the store to show support and this will also let you customize the look and feel of the phone and it can be used with all of their custom ROMs.
I'm on 4.3 OFW Infamous v10 Galaxy S4 (this can be install on many different versions phones, just follow the instructions while installing.
Hi,
Bought a brand new gt-i9300 unlocked in the uk. yesterday.
I rooted it first, assuming I'd get a non-stock rom on the phone, but in my digging only found people with problems on the roms I'm familiar with (latest CM, Android Revolution). I'm hesitant to put a buggy rom on, so will have to use stock for the time being, definitely want root access though.
The issue I have, is that as I rooted, now I see the mb5>mg4 ota ugrade won't work. I've got kies on my mac (so I know that's the update I need).
Can anyone advise - should I:
a) just update to mg4 using kies, then re-root? (is there an issue with overwriting the IMEI / EFS here, or am I confused)?
b) return to stock (reset the counter), unroot, update, then re-root?
c) leave as is on MB5?
d) keep looking for a rom that's got a more recent android (I'd prefer stock rather than touchwiz) - is there a stable option?
advice appreciated, as I'm a little lost.
Please follow the link in my signature to General > sticky roll-up thread
Read:
1) Understanding the basics before rooting.
2) IMEI / EFS - Know this stuff
Read both before you do anything else please.
Many AOSP roms are stable. 4.3 is new though so they're less so. 4.2.2 is fine.
!!ALL QUESTIONS GO IN THE Q&A FORUM!! OR THEY MAY BE DELETED!
Ah, my apologies - i've waded into the wrong place and asked too vague a question.
feel free to delete and I'll try to work out what I'm trying to do with this thing.
thanks.
Just read what I suggested. All your answers are there

Ok I just got the Note 3 today. I been searching the web for info on rooting and installing a custom rum. I love cm roms. I owned the gs3 and had cm10 and loved the pure google experience. So now im hearing about my phone has a bootloader lock and i cant install custom roms? Some please explain in one post everything that going on with this phone. I searched around and getting mixed into here and there. I dont care about tripping knox. I just want ride of touch wize and want my CM11. Please clarify for me please. thanks
Impossible at this time. Yes, we have locked bootloaders.
There is an everything you need to know guide right in the same section you posted in... It will explain in detail and provide links of what you can do. As of right now, we can only do custom TW ROMs. We may never have anything else.
And just a reminder, questions go in the QA section.

Hi,
so I'm brand new to rooting and this forum. I have a Samsung galaxy s4 i9505 on the network 3 running 4.3.
I did a bit of reading up on rooting and discovered a few things I'd like to play about with on the device, battery life etc. I rooted using the Chainfire root here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803). I don't fully understand what ROMs and Kernels are. Would someone be able to explain in simple words for my noob brain?
Also, where do I go from here now that I have rooted? As in what can I do to customize my phone with these 'ROMs' and 'Kernels'?
I know I should have done more research before rooting but its too late now.
Also I apologise if I posted this in the wrong forum and any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
Google.com is the answer.
A little to get you started...
You need to flash a custom recovery like CWM Philz or TWRP, From there you download a custom rom, yoy look for something in ur device thread for them. You choose what u like and try them all to see what suits you best.
Flashing custom roms instructions are in that specified rom thread follow them.
As for kernels as far I know they used for tweaks, OC, UV, battery optimization, touch, etc.
Try at your own risk.
